(20% of these vines are 55 years old the rest 12 to 15): Dark red-ruby. Blueberry and violet on the nose. Much more imploded than the Vigna del Gris with strong minerality to the black fruit and violet flavors. Quite uncompromisingly dry and tannic and in need of long aging. This is all spine today but possesses the sheer energy to evolve in bottle for 20 years or more. Stephen Tanzers IWC.

Love the nose of dried berries and walnuts with hints of coca powder. Full-bodied, with round tannins and a silky texture. It's succulent and savory. Like it slightly better than 2007. Better in 2015. James Suckling. A Nebbiolo wine from Piedmont in Italy. 2008 Conterno, Fantino Barolo Mosconi 750ml
